The Montreal site says he was also ST Coordinator. Maybe he's going to come assist DeCamillis. IDK.

Also, don't think Scott Milanovich will come to Chicago. I thought I saw earlier that Jeremy Bates would be staying.

The more important side to worry about is on the defense.

I hope he's not going anywhere near the ST. Alouettes fans say their ST dropped off a cliff when he got the job there.

Mike Tice got fired today. So did OL coach Tim Holt. WR coach Darryl Drake's long reign of tyranny is also over. Maybe we can finally have an offseason without some asshole trying to convince us that Devin Hester is about to break out as an elite multipurpose weapon.

Ya know, I remember Jeremy Batew once being a WR coach to this Brandon Marshall character...

McClure is saying that Bates is gone and all coaches on O and D but Jon Hoke are gone.

Raheem Morris would be another possible DC candidate that I forgot before.

Our personnel could probably make an acceptable 3-4 team as long as we predominantly stuck to the Bum Phillips 1-gap style (the traditional 2-gap is pretty much out of the question), but they definitely wouldn't fit it as ideally as a 4-3 and there's a lot more competition for the prototypical 3-4 personnel *for now*. I think the league is starting to shift back to the 4-3 which would rectify that, but we're not there yet. Besides, the number of available coaches with proven proficiency in it is at zero, as far as I know. It's popular right now.

Rob Ryan ran so many different fronts in Dallas and Oakland he probably *could* work something out, but I'm concerned that his...uh..."personality" would roll right over Trestman's in the locker room. I may not be on board the Trestman train, but he's got to be given the best situation possible.

edit: Turns out we also kept Mike Phair (DL coach for last two years) and Gil Byrd (Safeties coach since 06). I don't think they had much to do with the success of the players under them...Marinelli and Hoke were above them and are well known to be good, after all...but it's probably good that they're here. The DL played really well and the safeties were fine.

If the Bears ever give up and join the CFL, our coaching staff is ******* STACKED. New coaches so far:

Cavanaugh was the QB coach with the 49ers in 96, so that's how Trestman knows him. He's never actually developed a QB or made one get better or anything so....whatever. Trestman said he's going to be personally working with Jay, anyway. I guess Cavanaugh can fetch them Gatorade and lug around playbooks. He was Billick's OC back in the day, so he's used to not having to do what his job normally entails.

Skip Peete's a running back coach. They're pretty much all the same. The only real coaching running backs get is how to protect the ball if they have problems with it. His backs have mostly been productive, so that's nice. With Trestman in Oakland.

Andy Bischoff is from Canadaland. Prior to joining the Alouettes, he was a high school coach. He's coached running backs and special teams, but never Tight Ends. Well, he's our TE coach now. This is the only hire that's a real head-scratcher. We'd better not draft a TE, since we don't have anyone that knows them or anything. He served as Trestman's secretary in Canada, too.

Michael Sinclair, Canada, etc, etc. Had good D lines there. Only here as the assistant to Mike Phair, anyway.

Joe DeCamillis, special teams. Famous for having a building fall on his head and break his neck. Has a good reputation, but I haven't heard from a single Cowboys fan that isn't happy about us stealing him. One of only two hires that Trestman has never worked with.

Aaron Kromer, figurehead OC and real OL coach. Was with Trestman in Oakland. Had good OLs in Oakland and New Orleans. He's pretty legit.

Mel Tucker, DC. Previously DC in JAX. Didn't call plays until DelRio was stripped of those duties before the 2011 season. One really good year, one really bad year. The offense didn't do him any favors by leaving his guys on the field all game. Generally regarded as a good DC. Never worked with Trestman.

Trestman's hiatus from the NFL resulted in a lot of CFL hires. He just doesn't have the contacts guys who've stayed here have. I'm pretty happy about Kromer. Marinelli would have been better than Tucker, but that's not a bad rebound there. The other guys aren't terrible or anything, so yay. The only one I'm pretty bummed about is Bischoff. A guy who's never worked with TEs being an NFL TE coach is pretty shady, but he's Trestman's personal go-fer, so he was clearly getting a job in some position.

I'd like to see who the WR coach ends up being. That's a position that actually requires some real coaching and Jeffery needs it. Can't really be worse than Darryl Drake, in any case.

Joe DeCamillis, special teams. Famous for having a building fall on his head and break his neck. Has a good reputation, but I haven't heard from a single Cowboys fan that isn't happy about us stealing him.

Most Cowboys fans are delusional morons that think they should win the Superbowl every year.

Name all of the coaches to make the transition from the CFL to the NFL in the past five years.

When you look that up, you're going to see why it's a lot, lol.

Sinclair played 10 years in the NFL. If it was just a player that was moving into coaching named Asst DL coach no one would care.

Also, is there a large difference from moving from college to NFL and CFL to NFL?

We have a coach who is bringing in guys he knows because communication is key in any sport or business. Andy Bischoff is the only questionable name on the staff to me and again I have no idea about what makes a good TE coach.

Spoke to a Niners fan about Trestman, and he said Trestman drove the fans crazy. Compared his play calling to Cam Cameron because of how he'd forget to run the ball. Then to make matters worse, he was fired publicly by DeBartolo during a press conference with Trestman right next to him.

Doesn't look like we'll have many secondary issues on D. Three DB coaches in Tucker, Hoke, and Byrd.

Jeffery better return that man's texts and go see him. He needs Marshall to show him how to use his body instead of his arms to push off against DBs so he doesn't draw attention and get flagged for offensive pass interference. Marshall's a master of it.

I am looking forward to see how hard Jeffrey works with Marshall to get better. Even though those were pass interference calls, I was excited because I saw a lot of BMarsh in those...just not as refined. I think Jeffrey could be very good if he works with Marshall to master those little things.
